”Nay, friend.” Khazraad said. ”They may have blooded us while on defense, but they have no manpower to storm our camp, and stupid as they are, they know it. No, they’re probably waiting for reinforcements or some siege engines to force us to either retreat or rush into an all-out assault. The bloody black-hearted bastards they may be, but they’re not without some skill in warcraft, I have to say.”

Khazraad paused for a moment, and then continued, ”Whatever this Danath is up to, it probably bears us no good, I say. He sure talks too high an’ noble for a bloody mercenary he is. I smell a rat. Say what you want, but I don’t trust the man…” Khazraad looked sharply at Dana ”…And you as well.”

”Alright, but there’s no need to harass the lady, friend Khazraad.” Solarion said. ”Commander Danath’s behavior may be unusual for a mercenary, but his motives seem to be benevolent enough. Of course, we’ll still make it a point to watch our new friends closely…” Solarion turned to Dana, winked at her and added ”…No offense taken, I hope?”

Well, for now it seems that the best council would be to stop this bickering and get on with the real problem, the battle that lies ahead!

[OOC:]
Just so that you know, ElrosTarMinitarsus, I am going to wait a little to see if treyguy would like to post anything for Dana. He is also supposed to continue role-playing a meeting between Commander Danath and his scouts, so…

[Dana]
[glow=red,2,300]No offense taken. He is an unusual one, and I hae gotten used to his behavior and people's reactions over my time with him.[/glow]
[Danath]
[glow=red,2,300]Very well. Keep scouting, have the gaurd be on alert, and then try to see if any more information can be found about these fortifications.[/glow] Danath says before hurrying back to Melf's tent. [glow=red,2,300]Melf, I just recieved word there are some fortifications nearby, that are seperate from the rest of the orcs. It may be a secondary force to trap our men when they attack by coming from behind, or assault this place when we attack and cut off the retreat.[/glow]
[Danath's men]
They quickly hurry to see his orders followed, then return to scouting.

In response to Trakas, before Commander Danath returned into the command tent…
[/OOC:]
”I believe that everything has been decided on.” Melf replied to Trakas. ”The only other changes I foresee is if Commander Danath would one or few of his men into our elite strike force, and I suppose, we should wait for his return to discuss it.”

”Are you certain, Commander Danath?” Melf asked in slight surprise. ”There are no secondary orcish fortifications I am aware of; perhaps what your men spotted was actually the main orcish fortifications? It is easy to be wrong about the size and distance in the gloom of the evening.”

Danath seems to consider it for a moment then says [glow=red,2,300]"Well, I guess it is a possibility. I sent them out with instructions to investigate the fortifications, so they should report back soon. Until then, I guess we can't realy know. While on that issue, I can't help but notice my men seemed not to be involved in your plans. And what kind of numbers and troops can we expect to face?[/glow]

---Danath's men---
They travel towards the fortifications as quietly as possible. When they are no longer able to move ahead, the member with the least conspicous animal companion/animal form moves ahead in an effort to seem no more than a common animal wandering randomly. They move ahead until they can gain significant details, or until they feel staying near is no longer safe.

”Ye better keep in mind that them bloody orcs see in the darkness far better then most of you humans realize.” Khazraad commented. ”Hope you didn’t order to investigate the fortifications closely, or else you’re going to wait for your men reporting back for a long time indeed.”

”But anyway, as about the enemy forces, we have only a general idea of their numbers.” Melf said then. ”All we know is that we have beaten them heavily and that they probably not quite able to proceed with their invasion at the moment. However, we do believe that they expect reinforcements soon, how soon and how much, I do not know. At the moment, I suppose they are about five hundred men strong; about as much as we have, less if we take Commander Danath’s men into consideration. In addition to that, our troops are more skillful then orcs, and Knights of Luna are known as the best unit of warrior-mages in the whole Flanaess; in short, without their general’s magical support, we expect a moderately easy victory, though it still won’t be without a cost, no victory is.”

Melf paused for a moment to catch his breath, and then continued, ”As about your men, Commander Danath, you don’t figure in my plans primary because they are your men. You have not yet told us, exactly want kind of assistance you are willing to offer us in this battle. I may outline some possibilities, if you prefer. If you have good heavy infantry, I am sure Khazraad will welcome their aid in the main assault…”
